A power supply of between 500 and 600 watts for many PC owners: the sweet spot for a luxury PC with fast processor and one high-end or two mid-range video cards, this is pretty much the capability that you can buy the best. Be Quiet recently sent us their new Straight Power 600W E8 CM, which, of course, we have extensively tested.
Straight Power is Be Quiets mid-range line power supplies. Not as luxurious as the Dark Power Pro 's, but as far as specifications are clearly above average. The new E8-generation is 80Plus Silver certified, uses Be Quiets own SilentWings fans and is equipped with a (in our opinion very tight) new appearance. The power supplies are both not modular if modular implementation. The latter is indicated by the addition CM (Cable Management).
The copy that we got sent works with four 12V rails, each 18 amps can deliver. In total together can the 12V rails up to 45A. This means that the diet almost his complete power on the 12V rails can offer: 540 watt to be exact.
The diet provides standard 5 molex plugs, 5 SATA connectors, two 6-pin PEG-and one 6/8 pin PEG connectors. It is fine with this food as possible to high-end said one or two mid-range video cards to combine. All cables are neat and gesleeved long, so you can do good cable management. The motherboard cables are 57 cm long, the PEG-cables and 59 cm molex and SATA cables are a maximum of 88 and 98 cm respectively.
The diet contains one 12-inch fan on top, who, like Be Quiet because of the brand name itself is mandatory, lekker stil runs his buttons. The rotational speed is, of course, depending on the temperature.
The food costs on average € 104.50. That price is average. If we compare, for example, we see that Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 600W about 20 euros more expensive, but at the same time, we also see that the us with a Bronze Award distinguished OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W about 40 euro is cheaper. In anticipation of the conclusion we can say that this is a price difference is that you very difficult to efficiency difference can recoup.
